Is it possible to block someone from an open community on LJ?

25djadja has been repeatedly stealing my icons, modifying them slightly, and then claiming as her own - all without asking or crediting me. I asked her to stop doing it, she denied she was doing it, and has since continued doing it. I commented on her latest batch where she'd stolen my icons, only for the comment to be promptly deleted, me blocked from commenting on her journal, and me blocked from PM-ing her. Frankly I'm pissed off with her stealing my work, and I'd like to block her from viewing my graphics comm so that she can't do it to me any more. Is this even possible? I don't want to have to make my comm private =/

Oh, and jsyk, here are the icons of mine she's stolen, and 'her' icons made from mine. It's not just me she's taken icons from - sky_magenta, julie_izumi, biliki, theladymorgan, ladykate63, jammeke, confessoralana, schryosel, nim4, responsiveness (on RHFC), alisea_dream, nightwatchman89 (on RHFC), simply_aly, equanimousicons, themirrorofsin & liona5 have all had their work stolen, and these are just the 72 icons we know about so far. My icons are on the left, 'hers' are on the right, and all match up perfectly in PowerPoint.

It's that last one that REALLY annoys me, but I'm rather hacked off about all of them tbh. I don't fucking care if her icons look better, I'm pissed off and she shouldn't be doing it. [/rant for now]

Your icons are awesome. There's really no telling why she's singled out a few people: might be the only ones she follows, etc. Who knows. It's still seriously wrong, though, and as a mod... to say I'm unhappy is a huge understatement. Things like this ruin the game and it isn't fair to her team...

I actually went through and checked for any of my icons. I'm usually pretty easy-going - if someone wants to add text, I'll allow it. But claiming them as their own work is where I draw the line. Thankfully, I didn't see any...

Has anyone checked out her deviantart page as well? There's wallpapers there: http://25djadja.deviantart.com/gallery/

I think it is mainly the people/people who post at the comms she follows - I've been tracking down a fair few icons this way actually.

From an objective POV, it's rather annoying because if she made her own icons from scratch they'd probably be really good =/

I have been keeping an eye on her DA account, but I don't tend to look out for larger graphics like wallpapers so I can't really match her work to anything else.
